What Has Surprised Me About Grief

Grief isn’t something you can fully prepare for and i'm learning that it doesn’t always show up the way you expect. In this video, I’m sharing what has surprised me most about grief, how it’s shown up in my everyday life, and what I’ve learned while navigating loss during a season of big changes. This is an honest, gentle conversation about living with grief, emotional waves, unexpected triggers, and learning how to keep moving forward while still honoring what you’ve lost. If you’re grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to understand your own emotions — I hope this makes you feel less alone. watch: losing a parent during the holidays: https://youtu.be/HA6WKa7FOYw 💌 Join My Mini Monday Pep Talks & Newsletter Get a short & sweet (under 5 min) voice note every Monday with motivation, real talk & life lessons—straight to your inbox.
